RedRocket1647545505 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Volcanically-triggered Extremely large volcanic eruptions, which eject gases and material high into the atmosphere, can trigger lightning. This phenomenon was documented by Pliny The Elder during the AD79 eruption of Vesuvius, in which he perished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he wrote it down, and then got smacked in the head with a rock or something. i thought everything killed by vesuvius was buried in layers upon layers of ash? meh, i'm too lazy to figure out the troof. i do know that his son Pliny the Younger (how creative!) documented his father's quest to find out what happened at vesuvius.

Patrick Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 He received from Vespasian the appointment of praefect of the Roman Navy. On August 24, 79 A.D., he was stationed at Misenum, at the time of the great eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which overwhelmed Pompeii and Herculaneum. A desire to observe the phenomenon directly, and also to rescue some of his friends from their perilous position on the shore of the Bay of Naples, led to the launching of his galleys and crossing the bay to Stabiae (near the modern town of Castellammare di Stabia). His nephew, whom he had adopted, Pliny the Younger, provided an account of his death, and suggested that he collapsed and died through inhaling poisonous gases emitted from the volcano. His body was found interred under the ashes of the Vesuvium with no apparent injuries on 26 August, after the plume had dispersed, tending to confirm asphyxiation or poisoning. The story of his last hours is told in an interesting letter addressed twenty-seven years afterwards to Tacitus by the Elder Pliny's nephew and heir, Pliny the Younger,[30] who also sent to another correspondent an account of his uncle's writings and his manner of life Wikipedia.

Tractor Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes the same place. Vesuvius was the volcano and Pompe was the city near it. Herculaneum(sp?) was nearby and also buried. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
